Notice of Internet Intellectual Property Rights Dispute in China

[revolution1]

I got this email from my boss and he said to look into it.

Dear CEO,



We are the department of Asian Domain registration service in China, have something need to confirm with you. we formally received an application on May 19th,2010. one company which called "xxxxxxxx Investment" are applying to register "xxxxxxxx" as Brand Name and Domains.
xxxxxxxx.asia
xxxxxxxx.cn
xxxxxxxx.com.cn
xxxxxxxx.com.hk
xxxxxxxx.com.tw
xxxxxxxx.hk
xxxxxxxx.name
xxxxxxxx.net.cn
xxxxxxxx.org.cn
xxxxxxxx.tw
But we found that "xxxxxxxx Investment " is not the original owner of the brand and trademark in the checking period,which belong to your company .I need confirm with you whether your company authorized that company to register these domain name.If you have done that ,We will finish the registration for them and link to their website.
If not ,please let me know ASAP.
In addition, we hereby affirm that our time limit for dissent application is 7 workdays. If your company files no dissent within the time limit, we will unconditionally approve the application.


Best Regards

I responded that we had not authorized the company in question to register the domains and inquired about how to file a dissent application. Does anyone have experience with dealing with matters like this? Should i ignore it or should I go ahead and file the application of dissent? Whatever that is.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

Complete bs. China usually follows international rules on TM.
